Nothing’s ever going to top Nyko’s crazy Zoom Case, but Datel Japan’s bulky DSi speaker attachment thing — the official title is the Sound Speaker DSi — is definitely making a strong play for Most Crazy DSi Accessory Ever. As you can see, the accessory is not only meant to protect by consuming the handheld whole, but it also amplifies the DSi’s audio … because that’s what you want from your DSi. The multitasking capabilities of Datel’s device also allow you to charge your handheld (through an included AC adapter or some AA batteries) after you’ve spent hours being kind of a jerk.
The Datel Sound Speaker DSi runs 3,990 yen (about $45) and can be purchased here.

Nintendogs is being released as a DSiWare game! But instead of being distributed over the Internet like most non-cartridge DSi games, Nintendogs will be distributed on the new iQue DSi when it launches in China. That’s right, instead of a cartridge, it’s being delivered on a whole DSi.
The iQue DSi will launch in China (with piracy-averting free Nintendogs) on December 15. Like other regions, iQue will offer 1,000 free DSi Points to new buyers, which they can spend on games including Paper Plane, Bird and Beans, the clock apps, and WarioWare: Snapped.

Using its cost-effective ESRB method of announcing new games, Atlus revealed a new DSi program called PhotoWorld. As you may expect from a game with that title, it involves taking pictures with the DSi camera. Players shoot a self-portrait and then “customize the pictures with a variety of stamps, photo effects, and text boxes.”
As Siliconera notes, Atlus already sort of has a program like this on DSiWare. Nintendo’s Sparkle Snapshots is based on Atlus’s popular Print Club (Purikura) booths. We look forward to finding out how this one differs — there’s absolutely no way it could be any more sparkly, that’s for sure. Of course, we aren’t even sure this is DSiWare — while this sounds like the kind of thing you would sell as a download, all we know is that it’s for the DSi.

There’s some classic platforming to be had in both Rayman and Shinobi in this week’s Nintendo downloads, and even a way to deal with Jack’s overabundance of stress in Stop Stress: A Day of Fury. There’s over ten titles in all, so cruise past the break for the full list.

Nintendo announced that over 1.5 million of its various game systems were sold last week. Not last month, last week. Thanks to Black Friday and two new DSi bundles, Nintendo could afford all the trimmings for a resplendent company Thanksgiving. Not that we know whether or not Nintendo had one of those. The point is, Nintendo sold a bunch of stuff and made a lot of money.
According to Nintendo’s estimates, more than 550,000 Wii systems were sold last week, and over 1 million DS and DSi systems. The release of two new DSi bundles (along with a few crazy prices) could have had something to do with that last statistic. By selling that many handhelds, Nintendo broke its own sales record for the holiday weekend! Though the company didn’t manage to beat last year’s 800,000 Wiis sold, which means that, despite still selling a huge number of Wiis, and despite all those DS sales, Nintendo is completely doomed, right?

Apparently, Jon Heder has been spending his downtime with Nintendo’s Flipnote Studio. The video above shows the actor knows how to do a thing or two with Nintendo’s software, though you’ll find his doodlings are severely lacking in Ligers. Still, it’s a neat video for some very neat — and very free — software for your DSi.
Head past the break for the full list of this week’s Nintendo Channel content.

If you thought last week’s NintendoWare Weekly update was huge, well … you’ll probably think the same thing about this week’s update! That’s mostly because Nintendo provides quite the overweight offering this time, with a total of ten new titles available for your post-Thanksgiving download. Loosen that belt and make some room for more by heading past the break for the full list of this week’s releases.

The
DSi LL (or XL) isn’t just for the poorly sighted or hugely handed. In his
financial results briefing, Satoru Iwata revealed another purpose for the jumbo system: playing with crowds. “Nintendo DSi LL features not only bigger monitor screens,” Iwata said, “but an improved view angle on the screens to make it the first portable system that can be enjoyed with people surrounding the gamer.”
He envisions the DSi XL as allowing for a “new play style where those who are surrounding the game player can also join in one way or the other to the game play.” Tomodachi Collection, one of the best-selling DS games of the quarter in Japan, is named specifically as a game that already benefits from having friends nearby. “Because communications and interactions with other family members and your friends are one of the key elements of the game, the fun aspect is intensified when other people can watch how you play in comparison with when you are playing by yourself.”
As a bonus, your friends can help you hold the system up.

Early yesterday, Nintendo of Japan announced the DSi XL (DSi LL in Japan), a larger, larger-screened version of the DSi. It’s a big system, and kind of a big mystery, given that the only advance notice we had of the thing was a Nikkei blurb two days prior. While we can’t answer the big questions, like how long this idea has been in the works, and whether a bigger handheld is a good idea as an alternative to the DS’s continual miniaturization, we can round up what we know and can reasonably speculate about the DSi XL — right after the jump.

Nintendo may have announced Japanese plans for the new DSi LL first, but it’s not taking long for news about other regions to come out. Nintendo of Europe confirmed to Videogamer that the giant handheld will be released in that region as the DSi XL, in the already-packed Q1 time frame. “The retail price of the Nintendo DSi XL is expected to be higher than that of the Nintendo DSi,” the statement reads. “Further details will be released soon.”
The Japanese DSi LL will be available in Wine Red, Dark Brown (above), and Natural White, and will come preloaded with Easy Meikyo Kokugo Dictionary, Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters and Brain Age Express: Math. There is no word yet about the color variation or preloaded software selection for the European version.
